Product Features

GyroFlex 2D

GyroFlex 2D is the distinctive two-dimensional component that allows the shaver to perfectly follow the unique contours of the face. The GyroFlex 2D contour-following system adjusts easily to the curves of your face and neck, minimising pressure and irritation.

Philips SensoTouch RQ1180cc has been engineered to conquer every curve of your face and neck. The shaver head hugs the skin without rubbing, but cuts the hairs close, whatever direction they are growing. The GyroFlex 2D system provides impeccable attention to detail.

DualPrecision

Philips RQ1180cc SensoTouch electric shaver comes with flex and pivoting action shaving head that cares for your style and is especially designed to shave even the shortest hairs. The ultra thin heads of Philips RQ1180cc electric shaver comes with slots to shave long hairs and unique micro holes designed to catch the shortest stubble.

Patented Super Lift & Cut technology

Philips SensoTouch RQ1180cc electric shaver is equipped with dual blade to give you ultra-close shave. The Super Lift & Cut system is designed to give you the closer yet secure shave as the first blade lifts the hair and the second blade cuts hair below the skin level, meaning the shaver is able to cut the longest hairs and then the shortest stubble, even on the neck.

Precision trimmer - tailor your looks to suit your style

Skin-friendly precision trimmer is perfect for grooming sideburns and moustache, just open the trimmer by pushing the slide downwards. The trimmer can be activated while the shaver is running.

Aquatec inbuilt seal - 100% Waterproof

Aquatec is an in-built seal, which means that the shaver is 100% waterproof and the performance can be optimized when use with shaving gel or foam. The wet shave gives enhanced skin comfort and minimizes skin irritation. The wet and dry Aquatec seal gives men the choice of shaving both with a comfortable dry shave or with a refreshing wet shave using a shaving gel or foam for extra skin comfort.

Philips RQ1180cc electric shaver is 100% waterproof so it is easy to keep it clean and hygienic, simply rinse this waterproof shaver under tap or put it in the Jet Clean system for cleaning. It also includes a cleaning brush to remove even the smallest dust particles and hairs. Philips SensoTouch rechargeable electric shavers come with corrosion free heads to give it a brand-new look even after many uses. Keep your shaver in optimal shape by rinsing it under hot water after every use.

SkinGlide

The low-friction SkinGlide shaving surface slides smoothly along your skin, for an extra-close cut. The close-fit swing mechanism allows the head section to tilt forward and back, allowing hair to be gripped firmly at the roots.

Advised shaving method

Philips SensoTouch shaver are rotary shavers that require rotating movements to get a close shave, contrary to a blade, where a rotating movement is dangerous and a linear movement is the standard. When shaving the neck, look down to catch all hairs (again, this is quite dangerous with a blade).

RQ11 - Replacement shaver head

Philips offers RQ11 shaver head for this SensoTouch shaver. All Philips shavers come with one shaver head that can be replaced after every two years for optimal shaving results. To get the most out of your shaver, you should clean the shaving head after every use.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

As a self confessed "wet & blade" shaver I was looking forward to giving this latest electric incarnation from Philips a test drive (well shave actually). The key problem with manufacturers on the electric side of the shaving world is how do you improve a product that essentially has a very specific and limited function, namely to shave the skin! You can add flashing lights, sexy ergonomics, a plethora of high tech speak, ultra long times before recharge but end of the day you are up against a blade (or blades) that cuts the hairs on your chin....that's it. With my own wet shave system my anual expenditure is probalby in the region of £40p.a. (razor and blades), so what if anything is present here to warrant a 5 year pay-back on my investment?

Out of the pack the Senso is surprisingly light and yes, extremely well designed. In many ways it has the feel of a large wet razor (a good hand fit and grip being essential before the blades are let loose on raw skin!). Philips claim that the Senso "allows the shaver to perfectly follow the unique contours of the face" which in reality means that here you get three circular blades in a triangle formation that work to raise then cut the hair on your face, hugging your face in the process & giving you a clean shave whether wet or dry. In addiition to the blades we have the extra touch of the flat circular and hidden blades beneath their circular brothers and designed to tackle very short stubble.

With the AquaTech inbuilt seal (making the unit essentially waterproof) the shaver has the option of going for wet or dry.Read more ›

First, some context: if you use a wet shave and are considering going to an electric shaver for a better shave - forget it, the shave isn't going to be as good (even this one). If you are an electric shaver user and would like to get a closer shave then read on. The reality is that no electric shaver can mimic the cost and closeness of a razor shave despite potential electric shavers' advantages such as reduced skin cuts and irritation, portability, efficiency etc.

This shaver comes with a long lead to connect the 2-pin auto-voltage connector to a charger stand which has suction feet for stability. The shaver charges via touch-contacts when propped upright on the stand and the battery charge level on the RQ1180 is indicated by a 5 level column of lights. "Wet" shaving is entirely safe because the shaver cannot be connected to its charger when in use. The shaver is rated to provide 17 shaves fully charged and incorporates a 3 sec push and hold travel lock to prevent inadvertent discharge when travelling. Unfortunately the charger stand cannot be folded up for travel which is a bit of a nuisance as it takes up a lot of unneeded space. The instruction booklet was written for Ikea it seems - lots of pictures so no need to translate to different languages, but as a result you need some experience in Lego, Meccano or Ikea.

The RQ1180 itself is light, quiet and streamlined in use, comfortable to hold and easier to disassemble for cleaning than the more classic Philishave models I've used before. As a dry shaver, both with and without electric pre-shave lotion, its results felt no better than previous Philishaver models though its 2D contouring over the face felt marginally smoother.Read more ›

I was dubious about this product at first. I had previously owned a Philips shaver and didn't get on with it at all. For the last few years I had been using a popular competitor which reasonable results. The problem is my neck never really shaved properly without an extended amount of effort, and often I subsequently noticed that there were still patches left unshaven.

Enter the SensoTouch. The top of the shaver moulds itself so well to the contours of my face that even after the first use, I could tell this would be perfect. I had 2-3 days of growth which for me is verging on a full beard, and less than 5 minutes later I was looking at a very clean-shaven face. With daily use it takes about 2-3 minutes tops.

The shaver hardly makes any noise either. It just glides over everything. The pointy bits are great for the nose area and my neck now shaves excellently thanks to the way it sits on the skin.

To clean, just take off the top and rinse it under the tap. For a super-clean, there is the automatic cleaner which is amazing, but I haven't felt the need to use it more than once a week.

This shaver can be used wet or dry. I still have to give the wet shave a go, but to be honest the dry shave is so good, I can't really see the motivation to use shaving cream.

It is expensive, but because it is so good, it saves you time in the morning and it is so gentle you don't feel you've just gone 20 rounds with a glorified piece of sandpaper. Definitely worth it.
